Micropayments
Without Limits
Lightning Network enables payments smaller than a penny. Build products with pay-per-use pricing, streaming payments, and machine-to-machine commerce.
What You Can Build
Business models that were impossible before Lightning
Pay-Per-API-Call
Charge exactly what each API request costs. No subscriptions, no minimums. Users pay only for what they consume.
Streaming Payments
Pay per second of video, audio, or content consumption. Stop paying? Stream stops. True pay-as-you-go.
Content Monetization
Readers pay per article, paragraph, or even per word. Unlock premium content with friction-free micropayments.
Anti-Spam Deposits
Require tiny deposits to prevent abuse. Legitimate users pay pennies, spammers pay real money at scale.
Machine-to-Machine
IoT devices paying for bandwidth, compute, or data. Autonomous systems transacting without human intervention.
Gaming Micro-TX
In-game purchases measured in sats. Buy items, power-ups, or extra lives without credit card friction.

Bank Transfers
$15-30 wire fees, 3-5 day settlement
PayPal/Venmo
Minimums, chargebacks, account freezes
